Definitions

  • the present invention relates to wireless communications, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for performing a sidelink transmission based on a contention based scheduling request (CB-SR) in a wireless communication system.
  • CB-SR contention based scheduling request
  • 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long-term evolution (LTE) is a technology for enabling high-speed packet communications.
  • 3GPP 3rd generation partnership project
  • LTE long-term evolution
  • Many schemes have been proposed for the LTE objective including those that aim to reduce user and provider costs, improve service quality, and expand and improve coverage and system capacity.
  • the 3GPP LTE requires reduced cost per bit, increased service availability, flexible use of a frequency band, a simple structure, an open interface, and adequate power consumption of a terminal as an upper-level requirement.
  • Proximity is determined (“a user equipment (UE) is in proximity of another UE") when given proximity criteria are fulfilled.
  • UE user equipment
  • 3GPP is targeting the availability of ProSe in LTE rel-12 to enable LTE become a competitive broadband communication technology for public safety networks, used by first responders. Due to the legacy issues and budget constraints, current public safety networks are still mainly based on obsolete 2G technologies while commercial networks are rapidly migrating to LTE. This evolution gap and the desire for enhanced services have led to global attempts to upgrade existing public safety networks. Compared to commercial networks, public safety networks have much more stringent service requirements (e.g., reliability and security) and also require direct communication, especially when cellular coverage fails or is not available. This essential direct mode feature is currently missing in LTE.
  • Packet data latency is one of the performance metrics that vendors, operators and also end-users (via speed test applications) regularly measure. Latency measurements are done in all phases of a radio access network system lifetime, when verifying a new software release or system component, when deploying a system and when the system is in commercial operation. Better latency than previous generations of 3GPP radio access technologies (RATs) was one performance metric that guided the design of LTE. LTE is also now recognized by the end-users to be a system that provides faster access to internet and lower data latencies than previous generations of mobile radio technologies. In the 3GPP, much effort has been put into increasing data rates from the first release of LTE (Rel-8) until the most recent one (Rel-12). However, with regard to further improvements specifically targeting the delays in the system little has been done.
  • RATs radio access technologies
  • Packet data latency is important not only for the perceived responsiveness of the system, but it is also a parameter that indirectly influences the throughput.
  • UE L2 buffers need to be dimensioned correspondingly. The longer the round trip time (RTT) is, the bigger the buffers need to be.
  • RTT round trip time
  • the only way to reduce buffering requirements in the UE and eNB side is to reduce latency.
  • radio resource efficiency could also be positively impacted by latency reductions.
  • Lower packet data latency could increase the number of transmission attempts possible within a certain delay bound, hence higher block error rate (BLER) targets could be used for the data transmissions, freeing up radio resources but still keeping the same level of robustness for users in poor radio conditions.
  • BLER block error rate
  • VoLTE voice over LTE
  • Various pre-scheduling strategies can be used to lower the latency to some extent, but similarly to shorter scheduling request (SR) interval introduced in Rel-9, they do not necessarily address all efficiency aspects. Accordingly, various techniques to reduce latency, e.g. reduced transmission time (TTI) and processing time, contention based physical uplink shared channel (CB-PUSCH) transmission, etc., have been discussed.
  • TTI transmission time
  • CB-PUSCH contention based physical uplink shared channel

  • Data and control need to be processed (e.g. encoded and decoded) in the UE and eNB.
  • Data processing is a source of processing delays, which are proportional to the transport block (TB) size.
  • the processing of control information is typically less dependent on TB size.
  • HARQ round trip time For UL transmission in frequency division duplex (FDD), the HARQ acknowledgement (ACKK) for a packet received by the eNB in subframe n is reported in subframe n+4. If a retransmission is needed by the UE, this is done in subframe n+8.
  • the HARQ RTT is 8ms for FDD UL.
  • TDD time division duplex
  • RTT depends on TDD configuration.
  • the RTT for DL transmissions is not specified in detail, as the HARQ scheme is asynchronous.
  • the HARQ feedback is available at subframe n+4 in FDD, and retransmissions can typically be scheduled in subframe n+8 or later if needed.
  • Core / Internet In the core network, packets can be queued due to congestion and delayed due to transmission over backhaul links. Internet connections can be congested and therefore add to the experienced end-to-end packet delay. EPC and/or Internet delays vary widely. In the context of latency reductions, it is reasonable to assume that latency performance of the transport links is good.

  • the CB-PUSCH transmission allows the UE to transmit UL data by using the pre-configured UL grants which can be shared by multiple UEs. This of course enables the UE to transmit UL data as soon as the UL data becomes available for transmission.
  • the eNB will assign one separate UL grant for each UE in each pre-scheduling interval, and the assigned UL grant will be wasted if one UE has no available data to transmit during one pre-scheduling interval.

  • the CB-PUSCH transmission allows more efficient PUSCH resource utilization compared to the existing pre-scheduling scheme.
  • the potential retransmissions can result in increased latency for colliding UEs.
  • the CB-PUSCH transmission requires additional contention resolution methods in case the contention occurs. Therefore, in this approach, for contention resolution, the UE may transmit SR along with PUSCH so that the eNB can provide another UL grant to the UE which fails at PUSCH transmission on the shared PUSCH resource. This means that when the contention occurs and the UE fails at PUSCH transmission on the shared PUSCH resource, the UE may fall back to the legacy operation and perform the sequential procedures of getting UL grant as legacy.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour l'exécution d'une transmission de liaison latérale (SL) dans un système de communications sans fil. Un équipement utilisateur (UE) transmet une demande de programmation basée sur la concurrence (CB-SR) à un nœud B évolué (eNB) au moyen de ressources CB-SR pour demander des ressources de transmission SL, et détermine si une autorisation SL pour les ressources de transmission SL est reçue ou non. Si l'UE ne reçoit pas l'autorisation SL avant qu'un temporisateur expire, l'UE peut transmettre une SR non basée sur la concurrence au eNB ou sélectionner de façon autonome des ressources SL dans une réserve de ressources pour exécuter la transmission SL.
